"This book provides a thumb nail sketch of the history, beliefs, practices and interactions with the rest of the society for each of the religions discussed....It is the scope of the work and its clear engaging prose that make it particularly good for a course in New Religious Movements, Sociology of Religion, or American Studies. Its use as a text is enhanced be the inclusion of a glossary and a list of additional readings for each of the religions and topics discussed."-Sociology of Religion
